Tip of the day: releasing sentimental attachments to old fliers

In the early 90s I went to the Bridge of Flowers in Shellburne, MA. It was a cool
conversion from a disused trolley bridge to a scenic floral walkway. I wanted to
remember it. So for years, I kept the information handout I got there, even though
it was outdated and worn.

Until today. Today, I looked it up online, and bookmarked the page:
http://www.bridgeofflowersmass.org/

I admired the many beautiful photos of the gardens there, and shared the link with
my friends.

Then, best of all, I put the old ragged handout in the recycling! Because I've found
a way, now, to both cherish the memory, and release the clutter. I will be doing this
more often, as other old handouts resurface.
